LESSON 58

These ideas are for review today:

1
(36) My holiness envelops everything I see.

From my holiness does the perception of the real world come. Having forgiven,
I no longer see myself as guilty. I can accept the innocence that is
the truth about me. Seen through understanding eyes, the holiness of
the world is all I see, for I can picture only the thoughts I hold
about myself.

2
(37) My holiness blesses the world.

The
perception of my holiness does not bless me alone. Everyone and
everything I see in its light shares in the joy it brings to me.
There is nothing that is apart from this joy, because there is
nothing that does not share my holiness. As I recognize my holiness,
so does the holiness of the world shine forth for everyone to
see.

3
(38) There is nothing my holiness cannot do.

My holiness
is unlimited in its power to heal, because it is unlimited in its
power to save. What is there to be saved from except illusions? And
what are all illusions except false ideas about myself? My holiness
undoes them all by asserting the truth about me. In the presence of
my holiness, which I share with God Himself, all idols vanish.

4
(39) My holiness is my salvation.

Since my
holiness saves me from all guilt, recognizing my holiness is
recognizing my salvation. It is also recognizing the salvation of the
world. Once I have accepted my holiness, nothing can make me afraid.
And because I am unafraid, everyone must share in my understanding,
which is the gift of God to me and to the world.

5
(40) I am blessed as a Son of God.

Herein lies
my claim to all good and only good. I am blessed as a Son of God. All
good things are mine, because God intended them for me. I cannot
suffer any loss or deprivation or pain because of who I am. My Father
supports me, protects me, and directs me in all things. His care for
me is infinite, and is with me forever. I am eternally blessed as His
Son.
